Buckland Court

A house, built around 1835 and later divided into separate dwellings. The house is constructed of incised whitewashed stucco with slate roofs that are shallow pitched, hipped at the ends and half-hipped in the centre. It is two storeys high with attics to the front, set on a plinth and with a lower wing extending at a right angle to the rear. Rusticated quoins mark the corners of the slightly projecting end wings, and a plat band runs above the ground floor, topped by a cornice which forms the base of a parapet. The parapet partly hides the roofs, and panelled newels are positioned at the ends. Rendered stacks rise from the ridges of the cross wings and at the junction of the wings and the centre block. There are three attic windows in the vertical pitch of the half-hipped roof over the centre. On the front, the first floor features three 12-pane glazing bar sash windows within lugged architrave surrounds, each protected by a cornice hood and supported by sills on fluted brackets. Similar windows are found on the first floor of each wing. A plate glass sash window with a projecting sill is on the ground floor of the right-hand wing, with further windows on either side of the centre range. Double half-glazed doors sit in the centre of the ground floor. A single half-glazed door with a transome light leads to a rendered, flat-roofed porch to the left of the centre. A large 20th-century casement window incorporating a glazed door extends across the ground floor of the left wing. The rear return front includes two 20-pane glazing bar sash windows to the first floor, a plate glass ground floor window to the left, and a casement window to the right. Double doors are located to the right of the centre, sheltered by a flat porch hood supported on 20th-century pillars. The rear wing has irregular sash fenestration.
